Aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with good crystallinity have been obtained by cutting the CNTs grown on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by a sonication method. AAO templates were fabricated by two-step anodization of Al. After the cobalt catalyst had been electrochemically deposited at the bottom o…

We cap silver, copper, and gold nanocolloids with long-chain alkylxanthates. In comparison to thiol capping, the particles are less hydrophobic and are stable in aqueous solutions for over a month, though being less stable than the corresponding oleate-capped particles. They can be transferred into relatively polar or…

The three-dimensional band structure of the III-VI layer compounds GaSe and InSe has been investigated in the tight-binding approach. The pseudo-Hamiltonian matrix elements in the ${\mathrm{sp}}^{3}{s}^{*}$ basis are fit in order to reproduce the nonlocal pseudopotential band structure, in the framework of constrained…

The steady-state rate r CO 2 of CO 2 formation from CO + O 2 on an epitaxially grown RuO 2 (110) single-crystal surface was recorded as a function of the partial pressures in the 10 -7 −10 -6 mbar range. The RuO 2 (110) surface exposes singly coordinatively unsaturated “Ru-cus” sites and 2-fold coordinatively unsatura…

Abstract A large strain finite element formulation based on a local second gradient plasticity model is presented. The corresponding constitutive equations were developed as a direct extension of microstructured (SIAM J. Appl. Math . 1973; 25 (3):556–575; Arch. Rational Mech. Anal . 1964; 16 :51–78) or micromorphic (I…

The cobalt hexacyanoferrate system, M h [Fe B (CN) 6 ] l, (where M is an alkali metal cation, and the subscripts h, k, and l are stoichiometric coefficients, and A and B are the formal oxidation states of the Co and Fe metal sites in the structure) was shown to contain a rich series of compounds that are inter-linked…

The investigation of Zn substitution in MgB2 polycrystalline samples shows that about 0.1 Zn can be substituted in the structure of Mg deficient samples while it can not be substituted in stoichiometric MgB2. As a result of the isovalent Zn substitution into the Mg position of Mg deficient samples the a and c lattice…

In our previous paper (Eur. Phys. J. E 4, 121 (2001)) we proposed a coarse-grained elastic energy for nacre, or stratified structure of hard and soft layers. We then analyzed a crack running perpendicular to the layers and suggested one possible reason for the enhanced toughness of this substance. In the present paper…

Necking or cold drawing is a smoothed jump in cross-sectional area of long and thin bars (filaments orfilms) propagating with a constant speed. The necks in polymers, first observed about seventy years ago, arenow commonly used in modern processing of polymer films and fibers. Yet till recently there was a lack infund…

Mesoporous Ti-SBA-15 has been postsynthesized by the titanation of pure silica SBA-15 in glycerol with the assistance of quaternary organic ammonium hydroxides, and has been extensively characterized by various techniques to investigate the mesostructural and catalytic properties, and the chemical nature of the incorp…

The confinement of crystallizable blocks within AB or ABC microphase-separated block copolymers in the nanoscopic scale can be tailored by adequate choice of composition, molecular weight, and chemical structure. In this work we have examined the crystallization behavior of a series of AB and ABC block copolymers inco…

Microspherical mercury ion adsorbents with uniform mesopore channels were prepared by fluoride-catalyzed surfactant-directed co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) using mildly acidic nonionic surfactant solutions. Using batch adsorption methods, mercury(II) adsorption…

By combining a previously developed model of droplet spreading with simple equations to describe liquid penetration, we develop a versatile new model that successfully describes the spreading and imbibition of liquid droplets on porous surfaces. The model is experimentally verified for a range of porous membranes and…

Overlayers on surfaces with square symmetry exhibit a huge variety of strain relief mechanisms. I present a simple 2D Frenkel-Kontorova model and calculate the associated zero temperature phase diagram which shows a transition from overlayers with square symmetry (and possible square dislocation patterns) to hexagonal…

A driving mechanism for a twisted nematic liquid crystal device that could possibly improve the viewing-angle characteristics and the cell gap error margin is proposed. It is important that the surface azimuthal anchoring strength of the liquid crystal cell differs at the upper and lower substrates, unlike a conventio…

Abstract In this article, the polydispersity of the ethylene sequence length (ESL) in ethylene/α‐olefin copolymers was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the thermal‐fractionation technique. The crystal morphology observation by AFM showed that morphology changed gradually with decreasing average ESL from co…
